The BBC actually did a report on this 'study' (God, I gotta get in that business) and here's some of their conclusions:
Researchers at Kings College London found that they not only could mean younger skin, but better bone density as well. They said that the cells of people with many moles had properties which allowed them to renew themselves more often. However, there may be a price to pay - more moles have been linked to a higher rate of cancer, both skin and other types.
Most people have between 30 and 40 moles, but some have as many as 600. A series of studies carried out by the King's College team, and Dr Veronique Bataille, a dermatologist based at Hemel Hempstead General Hospital, looked at the relationship between mole numbers and other physical characteristics.
First Dr. Bataille noted that people with large numbers of moles appeared less vulnerable to some of the effects of skin ageing, such as wrinkles and blemishes.
The latest study in 1,200 twins suggested that high mole numbers also meant that people were less affected by age-related reductions in bone density, which could mean a lower risk of brittle bone disease and bone fractures later in life. Those with more than 100 moles were half as likely to develop osteoporosis compared with those with 25 moles or fewer.
